    Sweet light and lovely reflection. I usually like your super low angle shorebird stuff better, but this works well here. I might lighten up the black neck ring, and dark BG a bit, if it doesn't introduce too much noise.

    Well done!

    Mike, I would crop the top and bottom a bit. When I did that on my screen the tail being so close to the edge worked for me. The clean reflection adds power to the image. Bob

    Amazing reflection. Nice HA Agree with above, would lighten the BG and consider little crop from the bottom. The white on the throat look a little hot but that is probably my monitor. Thanks for sharing.

    Great reflection and real nice light. I would like to see this as a horizontal with more canvas on the right side and less top and bottom. The subject also seems to lack detail.

    Amazing reflection. Agree with the above on the crop, little off top and bottom.

    That's about as clean a reflection as I've ever seen, right down to the drop on the chest. Agree on the crop suggestions. The top bird's neck looks a bit bright, and the whole image looks a bit over saturated to me. Really a fun image to view!

    Fantastic reflection. Whites in the head of the subject could use some toning down according to my monitor. But then, what do I know? :) JR
